Podcamp Ireland - the gift that keeps giving

Well Podcamp Ireland 2007 is over (and Podcamp Ireland 2008 is already being talked about. I'd like to thank everyone who made it possible.

And I'd like to thank those who couldn't make it, but joined in on the Edgecast Media uStream feed chat and kept things interesting... even contributing in some of the panels.

Just when you thought it was all over, more come out. Like this John McGuinness TD, Irish Minister for Trade and Commerce interview he gave at Podcamp which is part of the Intruders.TV series

take care,
and thanks,
Will

Go to hell (2.0)?

I've been away for a little while and I've seen a few things.

First off, I'll join in the chorus of congratulations to Conn Ó Muíneacháin for his Intruders TV Ireland going live. The interview in Cork was filmed just after the Cork Open Coffee that was streamed on August 17. There might be a few more to follow...

As for the post title... partially to attract attention and I found this song and video today (finally cleared out my e-mail and discovered a few gems). And for something almost insulting, David Ford makes it sound so sweet. A little Damien Rice-ish, but less sulky. The video is also an example of a cheap video done very well.

Thanks Conn and Mike

The thing I found most interesting thing about the last Open Coffee Cork event wasn't that it was livecast on uStream.tv (recording available) or the conversations which followed but watching Conn Ó Muíneacháin and Mike "Festoon" Kiely set up the system for the live feed.

Which goes to prove that I focus on the wrong thing most of the time.

Oddly, I don't think anyone changed much with the arrival of the camera (as the number of people not looking at the camera probably attests). Part of this was due to the delay in setting things up. The part one: meet and greet was buffeted with microphones moving around (turned off) and a camera being connected and disconnected... so by the time everything started, we were used to the bloody things.

Sorry, but the microphone problems meant that everyone was comfortable with the things being there (the chat at the table has been going for some time before the stream let alone the recording started). That and the fortunate positioning of the "type 2"s next to each other.

I'm not too sure about who gets the stream next, but use the set-up to calm the nerves.

I can only say thanks for the livecast and congratulations on what happens next.

Will

p.s.
Are Podcamp Kilkenny and Barcamp Galway going to be livestreamed too?
